Description

This unit explores addiction, with particular emphasis on smoking and vaping. Pupils learn the facts about smoking, vaping and nicotine products and understand associated health risks, including addiction.

At Year 5, pupils are becoming more aware of health risks and may encounter smoking, vaping or substances in their communities. Building on previous understanding of personal safety and health, this unit explores addiction, smoking and vaping with age-appropriate facts. This is timely as pupils need accurate information before facing peer pressure or exposure. By learning these concepts now, pupils develop an understanding of addiction, health risks and skills to make informed choices and resist pressure.
